English In our Colleges.

No college in the country, so far as
know, gives instruction on all matters
included.in the study of English in its
widest sense None provides the re-
quisite facilities for student who de-
sires to master his mother tongue in
its history as a language, in its COM
pleteness as literature, and in its full
scope as a means of expression with
the pen and with the lips. This state
ofthings is not and has not been formany
years, the case with Greek Latin or math-
MATES. 1t is no longer the case with
many branches of natural science. with
some of the modern languages, or with
some of the most ancient ones. Why
should it be so with English Why
should a man who wishes to know
about the language he is going to use
all his life be at a disadvantage in the
pursuits of his favorite species of
knowledge, as compared with him
whose tastes lead him to regions into
which only few specialists are
privileged to enter? The question
answers itself. There is reason why
every college in the country should do
for English all that it does for its most
favored s,udies;and the time will come.
or | greatly misread the signs of the
future, when no American institution
of learning can afford to economic in
this direction. Now that learned men
and learned bodies are, like clergymen
and the churches, no longer too far
above the rest of the world to be
weighed in the same scales in which
other men and other bodies
are weighed, and to be criticised
with equal freedom, they can no longer
apply the resources supplied by public
or by private beneficence to the nour-
ishment of hobby-horses whose bones
are marrowless, In whose eyes there is
either no speculation in the old sense
of that word, or too much speculation
in the modern sense. A college which
is to live by the people must supply the
education needed Tor the people aEd
for the leaders of the people; and what
is so much needed as English? In these
days of multifarious knowledge. ofin-
intellectual activity in so many
directions, there are many things
of which a man need only know the
rudiments: but of English an educated
man should know more than the rudi-
ments, because-if for no other reason
everybody knows, or half-knOws, or
thinks he knows them; because every
body deems himself capable, not only
of criticising the English of others. but
also of writing good English himself.
Therefore, educated men should know
enough to be able to protect pure Eng
lish against the numerous foes that
beset it on every side in these days Of
free speech and free press.-Prof. A.
S. Hill, for April in Scribner' 5 Magazine.

Battle Flags.

The order issued by the War De
parLnent under the act of Congress direct
ing the return OF the battle flags captured
in the late civil war held by the War de
partment and the several states be returned
to the states from whom captured, has
called out emphatic protests from Com
mander-in-chief hsirchild OF the q. A. r.,
from Ohio, Iowa, and other states The
Governor OF Ohio says no rebel Gags viii be
returned while he is in Office and the
Governor of Iowa says he will use all proper
endeavors 20 prevent any such return OF
battle flags captured by Iowa troops.
The President ON further consideration
issued the following revocation:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WAsHINGToN, ID. C.,
June l6-TO the Secretary of War: / have
today considered with more care than
when the subject was orally presented TO
me- the action of your department directing
letters 70 be addressed TO the Governors of
all the states offering to return, If desired,
/ TO the loyal states, the Union flags captured
in the war of the rebellion by the con
federate forces, and afterwards recovered
/ by the government troops, and TO the con-
/ federate states the flags captured by the
union forces, all of which for many
years have been packed in boxes and
slowed in the cellar and attic of the war de
paTtment. ! am of the opinion that the re
/ turn of these flags in the manner thus con.
| templated is not authorized by existing law
/ nOr justified as an executive act.
| request, therefore, that no further steps
/ be taken in the matter except to examine
and inventory these flags and adopt prop
! er measures for their preservation. Any
/ direction for the final disposition of them
/ should originate with congress.
Yours truly,
